Definitely have to go back and look for that now though. Will also be interesting to see how he looks in the short-area agility drills.
Another Baltimore native to boot! :happyanim
I think Fuller is going to be really good when he learns how to play the game. He only has one real season under his belt. For a guy with that little experience, he has nice hands and runs some pretty good routes. He doesn't come across as just a 9 route guy.
Re: 2013 NFL Scouting Combine Thread
BTW how about this Marquise Goodwin guy? Haven't heard anything about him on here, and the Longhorns are kind of a blank spot for me the last couple years - haven't seen them much on TV probably since Colt McCoy left (they were on all the time back then, not so much now).
Wasn't real productive in college (in fact, he really didn't do much of anything) but that offense in Texas has been pretty screwed up the past few seasons. Hard to tell if its the system or what.

All right, so now all that needs to happen is 31 teams pass on him and we re-structure the offense.

But clearly we don't, as of this past season, have an actual position for him to play.
Brian Billick was talking about this sort of thing (albeit with certain OLs) yesterday. He said that teams sometimes pass on superior talent to grab guys that fit their systems, but that coaches and systems change over time, so teams miss out on the better long-term players as a result. It was an interesting take on the draft.

as I said, it's a moot point...
Raiders will draft him...or Goodwin, but I'd say probably Austin.

Also the Ravens were running more 3 WR sets in the playoffs. I think it's an interesting question, the answer depending on what they do with the WR group. I'm still not so sure Austin goes too far out of reach for the Ravens, but I do think it would be a luxury pick for a team that would be prioritising other areas.

Texas hasn't had consistent QB play for the past 2 years. I've seen Goodwin have flashes of brilliance.
I think he has the talent to be a a good WR but not the resume. In my talent evaluating non expertise, I think he goes 3rd at the earliest, probably a 4th rounder.

That's been my point all along. All these guys on here are having speed-gasms over this guy and wanting the Ravens to draft him, but it ain't happening. No way, no how.
